Was 6/10 from 3 to get out to the 30-18 lead but then went 3/16 the rest of the way.

That killed us today among other things not able to keep hitting that 3 ball.

Guys need to do a better job of screening (Garrison) and kicking it out (Oweh). That would create better looks. Brea was getting smothered.

I love this years team but I'm excited to see a more athletic roster.

Pope won't make the Calipari mistake of not having shooters to complement his athletes in my opinion.

How'd that go tonight? We match up well with UT. Not so much with Bama.
We had our chances, some guys flat out didn't play well, but it's a bit unfair to say we suck when we lost on tge riad against a FF caliber team with Perry, Noah and Chandler playing important minutes

The foul calls played a factor tonight too, but on a neutral court with fair refs, we could win.
But damn, take both pg's and the leading scoree off any team and they ate going to struggle.

Gotta get the win Wednesday night and give er hell next Saturday. Hopefully we get Butler back in time for the Auburn game.

Pope has to work on his sub patterns, Garrison is getting too many minutes and I hate to say this, but he really screwed up by only playing Williams 28 minutes. He only had 1 foul, why only 28 minutes? It should have been 32 at minimum.
Not only that, but at some point he has to get this team to put up the 35 threes per game he talked about over the summer.

Williams looked absolutely exhausted by the end of the game to me. When players get tired, they start to make mental errors.

I'll take a tired Williams over a fresh Garrison though.
I know Williams has to rest, but there are times when Garrison gets extended game time because there are no breaks in the game.
So maybe pull Williams a minute before each media timeout and put him back in after those timeouts.
Hopefully Pope can get two ace centers for next season since his system runs through the center spot on offense.

Oweh only seems to be looking to drive to the basket and getting off a shot no matter what, even if it is a wild shot.
I trust that Pope will address it. It's been an ongoing thing with Otega, and it reared its ugly head yesterday.

He just tries to do too much at times.

Very careless with the ball. And you kind of live with it when he’s putting up 16 points a game. Less so when he’s only getting 2.
